No Big D For You, Dorothy Malone Speaks, and Why is Dallas in That Bruce Willis Trailer?

Three entirely unrelated entertainment notes before we shut 'er down for the day. First off, as we predicted, there will be no Big D on the CBS schedule any time soon. As expected, the set-in-Dallas, shot-in-Burbank
sitcom wasn't announced during CBS's upfront presentation this week,
and we received confirmation late yesterday from a network publicist
that the comedy's a goner. "As of now, it has not been ordered for
broadcast," says Phil Gonzales. It was just one year ago that HBO axed its Dallas-set comedy, 12 Miles of Bad Road, before it ever saw the light of cathode ...

Then, finally, this odd note: I was watching the trailer for the latest Bruce Willis potential craptacular, Surrogates, when I spotted something particularly odd at the 1:45 mark -- a shot of downtown Dallas, featuring the Bank of America Plaza, Memorial Auditorium, the Merc and a certain neon, winged horse. Dunno why -- the movie certainly wasn't shot here and doesn't appear to be set here. Or maybe the movie takes place in RoboCop's Detroit. The trailer's after the jump if you're curious.
